Brief Answer:
You should apply hot and not ice
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
I have studied your case and I think you are having back muscle spasm. This is causing pain on movements. Also, you are making mistake by doing both hot and cold applications. You need to apply hot fomentation only. I have following suggestions for you.
1.Take hot fomentation in the back and apply volitran ointment.
2. Muscle relaxant like Myospaz or myoril or Cyclobenzopyrin is taken for muscle relaxation.
3. Avoid forward bending and twisting movements.
I hope these steps will be helpful for you.Let me know if there is any other follow-up questions.
thanks
